CONWAY (AP) — The University of Central Arkansas Board of Trustees will reimburse the new school president for expenses he incurs while conducting university business.

Board members voted Monday to reimburse Tom Courtway for vehicle mileage, parking expenses and meals. A motion by the board in December didn’t include reimbursement for expenses as part of his compensation package.

Courtway served as interim president after Allen Meadors resigned in September. Meadors left after he failed to tell trustees that a planned $700,000 donation to renovate his university-owned home came with the condition that a food vendor receive a campus contract.

Courtway also served as interim president following the 2008 resignation of Lu Hardin, who quit after a scandal erupted over a bonus he received from the university.
